    About this ebook

    Jeffery considered himself a pretty good guy. He never bothered anybody and he never bothered to get involved. One day he witnesses a terrible event and does nothing. That lack of action may cost him.

    This short story deals with the subject of indifference, something we are all guilty of at one time or another, and what it may cost us.
